Mayor De Blasio Declares Stop-And-Frisk 'Problem Is Being Solved'

“The stop-and-frisk problem in New York City is being solved as we speak,” said the mayor. “Because the numbers were going down before and we’re going to continue to bring them down to the level that is appropriate.”

“A certain amount of change has already begun, more will happen and the proof will be in the pudding as we talk to people at the community level. We have to keep each and every neighborhood safe while creating a fair and respectful atmosphere,” said the mayor.
